He was jailed for 12 years after a jury at Nottingham Crown Court found him guilty of two counts of rape, two charges of sexual assault and two allegations of inciting sexual activity with the young victim.

He was also put on the sex offenders' register for life and banned from working with children.

The latest convictions add to his earlier shameful and cowardly attacks on women.

He resigned from South Yorkshire Police in November 2009 after eight years with the force when he was convicted of attacking a former girlfriend.

Other former girlfriends have reported that, while he was a 'smooth charmer' at the start of their relationships, he would then turn violent.

One ex-partner, who planned to marry White before his arrest over child sex abuse claims, said he told her he had gone to Afghanistan to work as a private security contractor - when in fact he was in jail for domestic violence.

'He was incredibly manipulative,' she said.

Police also investigated claims White sexually abused a six-year-old girl but the case did not go to court due to concerns about putting the youngster through the ordeal when officers already had a strong case against White.

The 16-year-old victim's grandmother said: 'It is incredible to think this was an officer who had the right to carry a gun.'
